Ikr? Desktop enviroment bloat :3
I am currently in the midst of messing around with hyprland for peak minimalism, but honestly I prefer having a full DE, messing around with config files is kinda frustrating when I want to just do 1 little thing.. and oftentimes it's also hard to get the configs exactly how I want (probably gonna go to COSMIC when it comes out :3.. I tried the alpha and it's the best tiling experience out there imo, plus it has decent customization in terms of removing all the little icons I don't need for the most part :3.. though I'd like to be able to remove the window close button too since we already can do minimize/maximize :3.. and preferably remove the whole window top bar)
Hyprland is not very "minimalistic". If you're looking for a tiling Wayland compositor that's minimal, I can't recommend River enough. I'm aware that the suckless people have also tried making their own Wayland compositors but I've never tried them. River isn't suckless but it is still very lightweight and doesn't have all the flashy features Hyprland does.
Eh I tried a bunch of TWMs already, and I like hyprland :p. I know there are more minimal things like ratpoison or whatever if I wanted that, but for the GUI I want hyprland does what I want fine enough
Also the entire thing for me is basically temporary anyway, so it's whatevs
